Spacious, well equipped kitchen with contemporary appliances. Would easily accommodate 6 people, the two of us lived on just one floor! The soft furnishings were comfortable and tasteful. A welcome pack of goodies greeted us on arrival which was far beyond any we have had before. Sitting outside on the balcony, just 20 metres from the sea shore watching both sunrises and sunsets was amazing. Would thoroughly recommend this holiday let and itâs excellent value for money - thank you
